歌词
Hey!
Hey!
What's this tontería that I'm seeing on the street?
I never thought I'd see the day
Since when are Latin people scared of heat?
When I was a little girl growing up in the hills of Vega Alta
My favorite time of year was Christmas time
Ask me why (why?)
There wasn't an ounce of snow
But, oh, the coquito would flow
As we sang the aguinaldo the carnaval would begin to grow
Business is closed and we're about to go
Let's have a carnaval del barrio, wepa (c'mon man)
Carnaval del barrio
Carnaval del barrio
Carnaval (carnaval)
Del barrio (barrio)
Carnaval (carnaval)
Del barrio (barrio)
We don't need electricidad
Get off your butt, avanza
Saca la maraca, bring your tambourine
Come and join the parranda, wepa
Carnaval (carnaval)
Del barrio (barrio)
Carnaval (carnaval)
Del barrio (barrio)
Carnaval (carnaval)
Del barrio (barrio)
Carnaval (carnaval)
Del barrio (barrio)
Ohh, me, me, me, Dani
I have a question
I don't know what you're cantando
Just make it up as you go
We are improvisando
Lai le lo lai lo le lo lai
You can sing anything (what?)
Carla, whatever pops into your head
Just so long as you sing
Ummm...
My mom is Dominican-Cuban
My dad is from Chile and P.R. which means
I'm Chile-...Dominica-Rican
But I always say I'm from Queens
Wepaaa!
Carnaval (carnaval)
Del barrio (barrio)
Carnaval (carnaval)
Del barrio (del barrio)
Why is everyone so happy?
We're sweating and we have no power
I gotta get out of here soon
This block's getting worse by the hour
You can't even go to the club with a friend
Without having somebody shove you
Ay, por favor
Vanessa don't pretend that Usnavi's your friend
We all know that he love you
Well, now that you mention that sexual tension
It's easy to see
Yo, this is bogus
Haven't you noticed you get all your coffee for free?
Carnaval (carnaval)
Del barrio (barrio)
Carnaval (carnaval)
Del barrio
Here comes Usnavi
Yo, yo, yo y-y-yo-yo
Now, now, everyone gather 'round
Sit down, listen
I got an announcement
Wow, it involves large amounts
It's somewhere in the range of 96,000
Atención, I'm closing shop
Sonny, grab everybody a soda pop
Yo, grab a bottle, kiss it up to God
'Cause Abuela Claudia just won the lotto!
Abuela Claudia won the lotto
We're bookin' a flight for D.R. tomorrow
Oh my god!
Alza la bandera, la bandera Dominicana
Alza la bandera, la bandera Puertorriqueña
Alza la bandera, la bandera Mexicana
Alza la bandera, la bandera Cubana
P'arriba esa bandera (hey!)
Álzala donde quiera (hey!)
Recuerdo de mi tierra
Me acuerdo de mi tierra
Esa bonita bandera (hey!)
Contiene mi alma entera (hey!)
Y cuando yo me muera
Entiérrame en mi tierra
♪
Everything changes today (hey!)
Usnavi's on his way (hey!)
Off to a better place (hey!)
Look at Vanessa's face! (hey!)
Everything changes today (hey!)
Goodbye, Mr. Rosario (okay!)
I'm taking over the barrio
We're getting out of the barrio!
Hey, Mr. Benny, have you seen any horses today? (hey!)
What do you mean?
I heard you and Nina went for a roll in the hay! (Hey!)
Oh!
Benny and Nina (Benny and Nina)
Sitting in a tree (sitting in a tree)
K-I-S-S-I-N-G (K-I-S-S-I-N-G)
Que bochinche (que bochinche)
Nina and Benny (Nina and Benny)
K-I-S-S-I-N-G (K-I-S-S-I-N-G)
Hold up, wait a minute
Usnavi's leavin' off for the Dominican Republic?
And Benny went and stole the girl that I'm in love with?
She was my babysitter first!
Listen up, this is what ya'll want?
We close this bodega
The neighborhood is gone!
They selling the dispatch and they closing the salon
And they'll never turn the lights back on 'cause
We are powerless
We are powerless
And ya'll keep dancin' and singin' and celebratin'
But it's gettin' late and this place is disintegrating and
We are powerless
We are powerless!
Alright we are powerless, so light up a candle
There's nothing going on here that we can't handle
You don't understand
I"m not trying to be funny
We're gonna give a third of the money to you, Sonny
What?
Yeah, yeah
For real?
Yes!
Maybe you're right, Sonny
Call in the coroners
Maybe we're powerless
A corner full of foreigners
Maybe this neighborhood's changing forever
Maybe tonight is our last night together
However!
How do you wanna face it?
Do you wanna waste it
When the end is so close you can taste it?
Y'all go cry with your head in the sand
I'mma fly this flag that I got in my hand
Pa'rriba esa bandera (hey!)
Álzala donde quiera (hey!)
Can we raise our voice tonight?
Can we make a little noise tonight?
Hey!
Esa bonita bandera (hey)
Contiene mi alma entera (hey)
In fact, can we sing so loud and raucous
They can hear us across the bridge in East Seacaucus?
Pa'rriba esa bandera
Álzala donde quiera
From Puerto Rico to Santo Domingo
Wherever we go
We rep our people and the beat go
Esa bonita bandera!
Contiene mi alma entera!
Vanessa, forget about what coulda been
Dance with me one last night in the hood again
Wepa
Carnaval del barrio
Carnaval del barrio (pa'rriba esa bandera)
Carnaval del barrio (cuando yo me muera)
Carnaval del barrio (entiérrame en mi tierra)
Alza la bandera
La bandera Dominicana (alza la bandera)
Alza la bandera
La bandera Puertorriqueña (adiós, adiós, adiós)
Alza la bandera, la bandera Mexicana
Alza la bandera
La bandera
La bandera

Alza la bandera
Hey!
